CASEY POWELL
Today, most people are looking for a better way to “earn a buck.” Sometimes this search leads to a new job, other times, it works its way into the good ol’ "side hustle" (that fancy phrase for a second job or side project) to do in your off hours to get ahead. Like the saying goes, "40 hours to survive, 50 hours to thrive".
Casey Powell is one of those who figured out the side hustle to near perfection. He has grown his online businesses from $0 in 2016 to over $2,000,000 in sales this last year.
You won't want to miss this breakfast meeting as Casey will share an insider's view of Amazon's partnership process including tips, tricks and secrets he’s learned from picking the product, getting it produced, outsourcing options and how to market the product through your own website, Amazon, eBay and other online mediums. We look forward to seeing you there as Casey expands on key pitfalls to avoid and must dos for online sales in 2019.

With so many people being up, it begs the questions, “are you being compensated for the amount of risk within your portfolio” and “How do you objectively measure the risk within your portfolio?”
Join Travis Scibner, Managing Partner of WestPac Wealth Partners as he discusses these questions in the “myths of investing.” Topics to be covered in this session include: the academic story of investing, mutual funds (including the dead ones), market timing, what produces rate of return, and more.
